Maps
Get turn-by-turn directions, traffic conditions, and estimated travel time. CarPlay generates likely
destinations using addresses from your email, text messages, contacts, and calendars—as well as
places you frequent. You can also search for a location, or use locations you bookmarked.
You can use other apps even when getting directions. CarPlay lets you know when it’s time to
make a turn.
Display likely destinations. Tap Destinations.
Use Siri. Say, for example, “Get directions to the nearest coffee shop.”
Phone
CarPlay uses the contacts on your iPhone to help you make calls. Use Show Contacts to bring up
your favorites, recent calls, list of contacts, keypad, and voicemail.
Use Siri. Say something like:
•
“Call Emily”
•
“Return my last call”
•
“What voicemails have I gotten?”
Messages
When you open Messages, Siri steps in automatically to read your incoming text messages or let
you dictate a new one. Let Siri help you send, hear, and reply to text messages.
Use Siri. Say something like:
•
“Read my text messages”
•
“Text my wife”
•
“Tell Emily I’m in traffic and I’ll be 15 minutes late to the meeting”
